Getting in to the game (Part 2)

Hello guys! last time I left with a word Creep, and in this guide, I am going to explain it.

Let's start!

Creeps are the smallest units in DoTA2, it can belong to heroes or not. They can be categorized into two major groups
A group of creep fighting in the river

Lane creeps 

As it says in the name, it is a creep that spawns for each lane and for each team every 30 seconds from the barracks. Lane creeps have 2 types, melee and ranged. Melee creeps tend to have more armor than the ranged, but ranged creeps have much higher attack

Ranged creep
By the way, you can upgrade your creep by destroying your enemies' barracks. For example, if you destroy your enemies' top barracks, your top lane creeps will become a super creep that has more HP and damage than the regular one. Furthermore, if you can destroy all of the enemies barracks, all of your creeps will become a mega creep which gets a superb boost in HP and damage

Neutral Creeps

Neutral creeps are creeps that don't affiliate with both Radiant and Dire and will attack any heroes or lane creeps that come close to them. Neutral creeps will stay in a small group in the jungle area. There are 4 types of neutral creeps small, medium, large and ancient creeps

Small creep camps

These are the weakest neutral creeps, they have lowest HP and Attack damage comparing to the other types. Low-level heroes can kill these creeps easily
